Directorship and Bankrupcy

Directors suggest a LTD company. Your question suggests that your understanding of how liability works in this case is not correct.

Details of bankruptcies are public knowledge, as are the details of companies that have been put into liquidation. As you do not appear to know whether it is the company or the individuals that went bust you will have to do more research if you want to satisfy your obvious curiosity. (Gossip is an unreliable source of information)

However, I would bear in mind that your neighbours may not appreciate you sticking your nose in their business so you might want to be prepared for some unpleasantness if you continue to do so.

Directors wont suffer if a Ltd company goes under, but the creditors will

Directors actually BECOME creditors and will claim wages/expenses from any residue ........ of which there will be none.

"rats.........ship.........sinking" spring to mind
